damaged by natural disasters, and for 

emergency water conservation measures 

in severe droughts; and 

(2) Effectively administer the 

regulations for BCAP, which are set 

forth at 7 CFR part 1450, so as to 

provide financial assistance to owners 

and operators of agricultural and nonindustrial private forest land who wish 

to establish, produce, and deliver 

biomass feedstocks. 

This information is collected in 

support of, respectively, sections 401– 

407 of the Agricultural Credit Act of 

1978 (Pub. L. 95–334), as amended, and 

section 9011 of the Farm Security and 

Rural Investment Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 

107–171), as amended. 

Activity related to BCAP did not 

change since the last Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

submission due to the lack of BCAP 

funding. Activity related to ECP 

requests, approvals, and payments has 

increased due to major storm systems 

that caused catastrophic damage across 

the nation, from 2022–2023. Hurricane 

Fiona and Ian occurred in 2022. 

Multiple wildfires in 2022 and flood 

events in 2023 all contributed to the 

increase in activity. The new Cost-Share 

Request form for ECP is included in this 

request. The number of responses 

increased to 560,000 while the burden 

hours increased by 18,497 to cover the 

new Cost-Share Request form. The 

number of respondents remains 140,000 

in the request. 

For the following estimated total 

annual burden on respondents, the 

formula used to calculate the total 

burden hours is the estimated average 

time per response multiplied by the 

estimated total annual of responses. 

Estimate of Average Time to Respond: 

Public reporting burden for collecting 

information under this notice is 

estimated to average 0.0688 hours per 

responses, including the time for 

reviewing instructions, searching 

existing data sources, gathering and 

maintaining the data needed, 

completing and reviewing the collection 

of information for all respondents. 

Type of Respondents: Owners, 

operators and other eligible agricultural 

producers on eligible farmland. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

140,000. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 3.04. 

Estimated Total Annual Reponses: 

945,445. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 67,852 hours. 

We are requesting comments on all 

aspects of this information collection to 

help us to: 

(1) Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; 

(3) Evaluate the quality, ability and 

clarity of the information technology; 

and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

information collection on those who 

respond through the use of appropriate 

automated, electronic, mechanical, or 

other technological collection 

techniques or other forms of 

information. 

All responses to this notice, including 

names and addresses when provided, 

will be summarized and included in the 

request for OMB approval. All 

comments will also become a matter of 

public record.
